Zombie: Dang girl! You have been busy today! Hopefully baby is getting engaged. I bounced on my ball today forever, till my feet were hurting.
I love when the medical advice you get is "Just keep doing what you've been doing." Its like oh thank you for that ray of educational light....lol

Yeah, it felt pretty pointless, but they also offer great breastfeeding support and nutritional support after LO is born, so that should at least be helpful. tomorrow I have my ultrasound and NST. hoping the specialist can give some glimmer of hope. I still need to get that birthing ball.... maybe eat a can of pineapple. I did that with my son and went labor that night.
 
Haven't tried the pineapple before. I am sending DH for some right now. :) I hope your appt goes perfect tomorrow and you get some more answers. Thats great to have the support for breastfeeding from the nurtritionist, good connection to have for sure.

Pineapple sounds really yummers now! LOL!
 
3.30am and STILL awake!! Paracetamol onboard as back is aching, well, I say back, it's really into my bottom, feels like baby is super low, lying on side is simply hurting in the pelvic region, just been on knees resting on pillows and felt sooo much better, but can't sleep like that!!

Anyway-just needed to share :)
 
Ouch, kettle, that sounds rather unpleasant! Hope baby moves for you soon.
 
with my DD i ate an entire pineapple a day because i was craving them! Didnt know they induced labor until this time around.. but i went 5 days over.. so obviously not well!
 
Read something about needing to eat 8 of them to have an effect? Now I like a bit of pineapple, but 8?!???
 
Yeah its the bromelin in pineapple(the hard stalk bit in the middle) and u need to eat at least 8 to have a possibility of it working
 
forgot about the stalk bit - euuch, defninitely not on my trying to bring on labour plan! :)

ive given up on sleep, obviously not meant to be tonight, so coco pops, cup of tea and some tv , feel much more comfy sitting up on the sofa, caught 2 hours sleep this afternoon unexpectedly and can doze tomorrow too so will catch up hopefully!

normally i'd be getting up for work in 45minutes!!
 
Ummmm...yeah, pineapple is tasty but I don't think I can eat 8 of them and the hard middle part...ick! LOL! I did eat a whole can on my own tonight....mmmm..it was so good :)

Sleeping is not so easy nowadays
 
i have a juicer, maybe ill just juice 8 cores? Haha, getting creative! I was laying in the tub tonight and could see baby practice breathing.. it was so weird!
 
Are you all going up be excited when you hit single digits to due date? :)
 
I had to get a trace on baby & they took my blood.....& are doing a liver function test....I have swollen feet face & hands but mildly,I have low platelets so I have repeat bloods next week but they told me to go home & just ensure I call them if I get headaches, pain below boobs in middle of chest, or swell up more....checking me weekly to keep an eye on me. They did a liver function test too. I thought they might induce me but I mustnt have needed to be-I feel fine though so maybe that's why I was let go?
I am 4/5th engaged so think they are hoping I'll go naturally soon?
I hope all is well with you....I think they have to induce if your symptoms take a turn for the worse...so I hope that you are OK!!

I am hoping I can get them to just monitor me closely.

Tryin: Thats great that yours have dropped. Are you doing anything different? I have been trying to not do as much. Have you had protein in your urine?

Star: Hope your appt goes well tomorrow!

MsHopeful: Maybe I can ask for just more frequent appt instead of induction. I do feel they are jumping the gun a little. My hands and face aren't swollen, no blurry vision, no headache. Just puffy feet and legs and High BP. Not sure yet about the protein in my urine, I will know tomorrow.

I love pineapple but couldn't face eating the cores so I'll skip that one lol.....none of the other things like spicy food or DTD have worked or me so I am not thinking anything like that will work for me :)
 
Arrgghh!! Damn time differences I got to sleep and when I get up I've missed about 5 pages worth of convo:cry: I had the best nights sleep I've had in a couple of weeks though. Probably due to me not worrying anymore?
Lets see what today brings. Woke up damp with period pains - probably the EPO so I'll keep an eye on that. Hopefully seeing my community midwife today so I'll have to mention it as I have been more damp last couple of days.
Yet again probably just symtom spotting though. I hate waiting and watching OBEM last night has just made me more impatient!!
 
Honestly I don't have the energy to do any old wives tales.... He'll come when he's ready!

I keep getting that. I'm like how do I know if I'm leaking fluid or just normal dribbling!?


Just bounced on my ball for like 2 minutes and exhausted!!
 
Well I've had to change my liner 3 times today already but now its stopped. Hhmm i dunno i kinda think the EPO might have had something to do with all the fluid. Don't think i like it. Seems to have calmed down on my last toilet visit. I've felt like i need a poo since I've got up and been twice already (sorry tmi ). Got midwife at twelve and i really think I'll cry if she tells me baby isn't engaged at all after all this!
Other than that im having a relaxing day. Nite stressing about when she's gonna come as I've read that baby will come when you're relaxed ha
 
Third night in a row of me getting little to no sleep. It is beyond just being uncomfortable, baby being active, and needing to pee all the time. I just can't get to sleep. My husband keeps me up with his breathing sounds (I know, the guy can't be faulted for breathing) and my mind just won't shut down. Am getting to be so exhausted. Can't nap today as am still working and training my replacement person.

It is amazing how little sleep one needs in order to be functional. Might take a Benadryl tonight...
